re: Blues Blaster service The Hohner Blues Blaster microphone, manufactured by Astatic, is covered by a two year limited warranty from CTI Audio. Their address is:
CTI Audio Service Dep't Harbor & Jackson Streets Conneaut, OH 44030
They request that the microphones be sent directly to them, return transportation charges prepaid.
re: Country tuning Tuning the 9 draw note sharp for Country Tuning would duplicate the 9 blow bent note (Major 7th in crossed position) while eliminating the flatted 7th of the regular 9 draw note. Down at hole 5 the raised draw note can be bent back down to the regular, flatted 7th, but not so at hole 9. I personally tune my 9 draw notes up as well as the 5 draw because I regularly play in octaves and, anyway, most of the tunes I play with this tuning don't require a flat 7th. Most players, however, seem to prefer the Country Tuning with only the 5 draw raised.
